Veil - iPhone 16 Pro Max

I love it! I'm a fan of going caseless but I tend to keep a case on it for a while until I feel less anxious about dropping it. ;-) I have to assume if you're reading this, you're looking for a minimalist, ultra-thin case, so you probably do something similar.

This one is nearly perfect -- paper thin, very easy to hold, and I deeply love the _just-so_ translucency of it. It's exactly the right material. The ONLY downside is that magsafe suffers. My magsafe dock still sticks enough to keep it charging at night, but my magsafe wallet is no longer viable. But for me, this is a worthy tradeoff.

Happy to go back to carrying a slim wallet just so I can protect my brand new 16PM... because at some point in about a year I'll ditch the case again and go back to using a magsafe wallet. ;-P

Excellent work y'all!

The Veil excels at being a thin and very minimalist case. The cutouts are precise, and it truly feels as though there’s nothing on your phone. However, one thing that bothers me is the cheap feeling of the materials used. If that bothers you, this case is not for you. But if you are looking for a thin case to protect against minor bumps and scratches and aren’t too concerned about the materials, you will love this case!

The Veil this year is absolutely perfect. It’s slim, sleek, grippy, and a pleasure to hold on a 16PM. I’ve been a Sheath adherent in the past and I am absolutely converted. This is the best case in Caudabe’s lineup.

I always grapple with going caseless; however, I usually throw on a light, minimalist case due to the phone slipping out of my pocket and the fact that my one year old likes to grab my phone and, typically, drops it or gives it a little throw. I love the Veil case because it doesn't add any bulk or heft to the phone, while providing enough drop protection so my son doesn't crack the glass on the front or back of the phone. I don't need / desire a ton of drop protection and it's only about a 18-24" high drop, but after several drops, the case is doing its job (he has found ways to crack my old phone's screen without a case). The added grips on the side of the case also do a great job of keeping the phone in my pocket. I also appreciate that the cutouts for the buttons, especially the camera button, are all accurate and still maintain edge protection for the screen (it's not just a giant cutout like some other cases appear to have). The fit is great, but it's still not too hard to remove the case on the occasions I want to go caseless.

I'm also not 100% sure if the case is a little thinner than last year or maybe the magnets on this year's iPhones are a little stronger, but I've found that I can leave my phone on an angled Magsafe charger dock and use StandBy on my nightstand with the case on (last year, the magnetic connection was hampered just enough by the case that it wouldn't stay on the side mount).
